    <description><![CDATA[<h3><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1665" src="http://go635254.s3.amazonaws.com/ecochildsplay/files/2008/09/yelling300.jpg" alt="Call and tell them you want clear labeling!" width="285" height="413" />On September 23, join women and men across the country to call on the cleaning products industry to reveal their hidden ingredients.</h3>
<p><strong>You deserve to know if there are toxic chemicals in your cleaning products.</strong> For the last year Women&#8217;s Voices for the Earth (WVE) has been working directly with manufacturers and industry representatives to get this critical information to the public:</p>
<ul>
<li><strong>Read the first letter from WVE</strong>: <a href="http://www.womenandenvironment.org/campaignsandprograms/SafeCleaning/Responses/Companyletter1" target="_blank">First request to cleaning companies</a></li>
<li><strong>Read the responses from the companies</strong>: <a href="http://www.womenandenvironment.org/campaignsandprograms/SafeCleaning/Responses/companyresonses" target="_blank">Company responses</a></li>
<li><strong>Read the second request from WVE</strong>: <a href="http://www.womenandenvironment.org/campaignsandprograms/SafeCleaning/Responses/Letter2" target="_blank">Second request from companies</a></li>
<li><strong>Read <a href="http://www.womenandenvironment.org/campaignsandprograms/SafeCleaning/HazardsReport.pdf" target="_blank">Household Hazards</a></strong>, highlighting two health risks associated with chemicals in cleaning products, asthma and reproductive harm.</li>
</ul>
<p>Because <strong>no laws exist requiring cleaning product companies to disclose their ingredients</strong>, we still don&#8217;t know if the products we use every day will cause long-term health impacts.
